Recurrent oral and oculogenital ulcerations (Behçet's syndrome).

The literature on Behçet's syndrome is reviewed and four cases are presented. Two of the patients were men and two were women. The age at presentation varied from 21 to 55 years. All patients had the first manifestations of the disease before the age of 25 and two before the age of 10. None presented with the complete triad of symptoms. All four had oral ulceration and either ocular lesions (two cases) or lesions on the genitals (two cases). According to the present theories, the diagnosis of Behçet's syndrome is established by the presence of any two of the triad of symptoms. We suggest that in order to be classified as having Behçet's syndrome, a patient should have oral lesions and either genital and/or ocular ulcerations.

Lipomata in oral tissues.

The literature on Lipomata and intra-oral Lipomata is reviewed and a series of 24 cases presented. In this series the mean age of presentation of the male patients was 53.8 years, whereas that of females was 63.1 years 33.3% of the tumours occurred on the inner aspect of the checks and of these 8 cases, six were males. Of the eight lesions occurring the floor of the mouth and retromolar areas, all but one occurred in females. Evidence is presented to support to the claim that intra-oral lipomata are indeed common benign neoplasms.

Clinical classification and staging in oral cancer.

The literature regarding TNM-classification and staging as applied to oral cancer is reviewed and the shortcomings of the various systems are discussed. A new system for the classification and staging of carcinomata of the oral cavity is described. This system includes recording the site of the lesion (S) and the pathology (P) in addition to the conventional TNM criteria. The new system for staging involves the summation of arithmetic discriminants attached to each of the variables S, T, N, M and P. This system is more simple to use and is able to predict a more accurate prognosis for the patient.
